This season’s Coppa Italia turned out to be a truly unique tournament, having managed to fit in in a matter of weeks, and even in such a convenient way for its participants, so as not to create an undue burden on the players. One way or another, but in any case, only four teams would have made it to the semi-final stage, and those that did made quite curious pairs with each other.
A week ago we were talking about the prerequisites for the first match between Inter Milan and Juventus Turin in the Giuseppe Meazza field, and after a short period of time it would not hurt to refresh the memory again, but already applying The prism of the known result of the first part of the duel: Andrea Pirlo’s charges won in the opponents’ court with a score of 2: 1. Such was the pre-game disposition of the reports.
It seems only one calendar week, what can you do right now in the world of football? Actually, this time it was enough for both teams, who were able to beat the opponents most agreeable to them with the same score in the next round of Serie A. Antonio Conte’s team went to Florence to Fiorentina, and the zebras they defended the honor. from his native arena of the Romany Roman invasions. At the same time, the “Nerazzurri” did not even have time to vilify the crown of the leader of the national championship, but soon the residents of the city returned it to them.
Obviously, Inter needed to play with more intensity in attack from the first minutes. Guests began to resist the pre-match designs, gradually gaining space on the other side. Juventus tried to start playing with control of the ball, but pressure from opponents quickly forced them to go on the defensive from their own goal.
The first dangerous moment of the hosts’ penalty occurred in the 12th minute, when Martinez tried to complete the cross from Hakimi’s right wing, but only hit Bernardeschi’s legs instead of the ball. At the same time, the Argentine also tried to request a penalty from the main referee.
Inter’s attack vector in the first half was on the right flank, where the clash between Ashraf Hakimi and Alex Sandro played almost an important role in the teams’ overall strategy for the game. The Brazilian did not always manage to stop the Moroccan, so it was hot several times at Buffon’s door, but we do not expect an accentuated final shot. Several promising free throws, many sharp passes down the flanks, but in the end the “snakes” were quite stingy.
From the side of the Turin team, little could be remembered in the first 45 minutes. Just before the break, Ronaldo began to show activity, but most attempts to break through in his performance were blocked by opponents, and Handanovich helped them with this once, reflecting a blow from an acute angle to the left flank of the penalty area. . Before the starry Portuguese, Bernardeschi tried to play the Juventus game, but did not know much success in his actions.
In the second half, the teams did not abandon their original ideas. We still saw more control of the ball on the other side from Inter, but where did Conte’s chances of scoring go? Buffon did not experience any difficulties in this game, although the ball did not often go out of the danger zone in front of someone else’s penalty area.
Despite the frankly passive style of play in attack, Turintsy still created more potential situations for a goal, and Handanovic had to work hard twice after the break, reflecting shots from close by from Ronaldo and Kulusevski. An attempted final assault of the “serpents” took place only formally
Inter really went the other way, placed the entire front line of attack in front of Buffon’s possessions, but failed to upset the experienced goalkeeper. In the “clinch” this fight ended, and “on points” the victory went to Pirlo’s players.
Thus, Juventus of Turin will play for this pair of teams in the final of the Italian Cup in the 2020/21 season. For Inter Milan, the tournament route in cup competition has come to an end.
